someone gets intoxicated at a bar and is asked to leave. they leave without further confrontation, the bar then calls the police and says there is a drunk driver leaving. are the police allowed to wait outside of the parking lot for the person to leave and pull them over on suspicion of dui, even though they did nothing wrong as far as weaving, speeding etc.

yes, you do not have to be pulled over for driving bad inorder to receive a dui, if he is pulled over for something unrelated and the cop sees hes drunk he can get arrested. And, i actually just read a court case from NJ where someone called 911 on a drunk driver, and the cop pulled him over immediately without seeing the drunk driver swearving...it went to court and the desission stood. So yes, if the cop is called to the scene of a drunk driver he can pull him over immediately. hope that answers it.
